TORONTO, ONTARIO -- RX EXPLORATION INC. ("RXE" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:RXE)(OTCQX:RXEXF) announced today that it has been advised by Sprott Asset Management LP that Sprott supports the RXE nominees and is in the process of voting the BLUE proxy FOR RXE's slate of mining and corporate executives.

The RXE nominees believe that Sprott is the largest single RXE shareholder, exercising voting discretion over approximately 7.8% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares.

"Sprott is one of many shareholders who have told us in recent days that they are switching their vote away from the dissidents and toward RXE's slate," said John O'Donnell, Chairman of RXE. "We thank Sprott and all shareholders who have moved decisively to revoke their previously voted proxies and have voted BLUE, or have expressed their intention to do so. While we are now developing momentum, the contested election is far from over and we need the votes of all RXE shareholders to carry the day and prevent the dissidents from seizing control."

Voting Instructions

RXE recommends that shareholders vote only the BLUE proxy FOR the RXE nominees as the primary step towards real value creation. A completed BLUE proxy will replace any previously voted proxy – dissident or the original Management proxy mailed in May.

In order to be counted at the Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, the BLUE proxy should be voted well in advance of the proxy voting deadline of July 4, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time). Please do not attempt to mail your proxy unless you have no other alternative. Shareholders who require assistance voting the BLUE proxy should please contact Laurel Hill Advisory Group at 1-877-304-0211 or by e-mail at [email protected].

The vote will take place at the adjourned Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders on July 6, 2011 at 4:30 p.m. (Toronto time) at the Ontario Bar Association Conference Centre, Salon 3, 20 Toronto Street, Toronto, Ontario M5C 2B8.
